Abstract
KEY MESSAGE The study unveils Si's regulatory influence by regulating DEGs, TFs, and TRs. Further bHLH subfamily and auxin transporter pathway elucidates the mechanisms enhancing root development and nodulation. Soybean is a globally important crop serving as a primary source of vegetable protein for millions of individuals. The roots of these plants harbour essential nitrogen fixing structures called nodules. This study investigates the multifaceted impact of silicon (Si) application on soybean, with a focus on root development, and nodulation employing comprehensive transcriptomic analyses and gene regulatory network. RNA sequence analysis was utilised to examine the change in gene expression and identify the noteworthy differentially expressed genes (DEGs) linked to the enhancement of soybean root nodulation and root development. A set of 316 genes involved in diverse biological and molecular pathways are identified, with emphasis on transcription factors (TFs) and transcriptional regulators (TRs). The study uncovers TF and TR genes, categorized into 68 distinct families, highlighting the intricate regulatory landscape influenced by Si in soybeans. Upregulated most important bHLH subfamily and the involvement of the auxin transporter pathway underscore the molecular mechanisms contributing to enhanced root development and nodulation. The study bridges insights from other research, reinforcing Si's impact on stress-response pathways and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis crucial for nodulation. The study reveals significant alterations in gene expression patterns associated with cellular component functions, root development, and nodulation in response to Si.

Unveiling the regulatory mechanism of poly-γ-glutamic acid on soil characteristics under drought stress through integrated metagenomics and metabolomics analysis. Front Microbiol 2024; 15:1387223. [PMID: 38751715 PMCID: PMC11094619 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1387223] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
It is of utmost importance to understand the characteristics and regulatory mechanisms of soil in order to optimize soil management and enhance crop yield. Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA), a stress-resistant amino acid polymer, plays a crucial role in plant drought stress resistance. However, little is known about the effects of γ-PGA on soil characteristics during drought treatments. In this study, the effects of different forms of γ-PGA on soil texture and basic physical and chemical properties under short-term drought conditions were investigated. Furthermore, the impact of γ-PGA on the microbial community and metabolic function of maize was analyzed. Under drought conditions, the introduction of γ-PGA into the soil resulted in notable improvements in the mechanical composition ratio and infiltration capacity of the soil. Concurrently, this led to a reduction in soil bulk density and improved soil organic matter content and fertility. Additionally, metagenomic analysis revealed that under drought conditions, the incorporation of γ-PGA into the soil enhanced the soil microbiota structure. This shift led to the predominance of bacteria that are crucial for carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles in the soil. Metabolomics analysis revealed that under drought treatment, γ-PGA affected soil metabolic patterns, with a particular focus on alterations in amino acid and vitamin metabolism pathways. Correlation analysis between the soil metagenome and metabolites showed that microorganisms played a significant role in metabolite accumulation. These results demonstrated that γ-PGA could improve soil characteristics under drought conditions and play an important role in soil microorganisms and microbial metabolism, providing further insights into the changes in soil characteristics under drought conditions.

Abstract
Globally, water scarcity in arid and semiarid regions has become one of the critical issues that hinder sustainable agriculture. Agriculture, being a major water consumer, presents several challenges that affect water availability. Hydrogels derived from polysaccharides seed gums are hydrophilic polymers capable of retaining substantial moisture in their three-dimensional network and releasing it back into the soil during drought conditions. Implementation of hydrogels in the agricultural sectors enhances soil health, plant growth, and crop yield. Furthermore, the soil permeability, density, structure, texture, and rate of evaporation and percolation of water are modified by hydrogel. In this review, hydrogels based on natural plant seed gum like guar, fenugreek, Tara and locust beans have been discussed in terms of their occurrence, properties, chemical structure, method of synthesis, and swelling behavior. The focus extends to recent applications of modified seed gum-based natural hydrogels in agriculture, serving as soil conditioners and facilitating nutrient delivery to growing plants. The swelling behavior and inherent structure of these hydrogels can help researchers unravel their maximum possibilities to promote sustainable agriculture and attenuate the obstacles propounded by our dynamic nature. The current review also examines market growth, prospects, and challenges of eco-friendly hydrogels in recent times.

Alleviation of water-deficit stress in turmeric plant ( Curcuma longa L.) using phosphate solubilizing rhizo-microbes inoculation. 3 Biotech 2024; 14:69. [PMID: 38362591 PMCID: PMC10864243 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-024-03922-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the effects of phosphate solubilizing rhizo-microbes inoculants on nutrient balance, physiological adaptation, growth characteristics, and rhizome yield traits as well as curcuminoids yield at the secondary-rhizome initiation stage of turmeric plants, subsequently subjected to water-deficit (WD) stress. Phosphorus contents in the leaf tissues of Talaromyces aff. macrosporus and Burkholderia sp. (Bruk) inoculated plants peaked at 0.33 and 0.29 mg g-1 DW, respectively, under well-watered (WW) conditions; however, phosphorus contents declined when subjected to WD conditions (p ≤ 0.05). Similarly, potassium and calcium contents reached their maximum values at 5.33 and 3.47 mg g-1 DW, respectively, in Burk inoculated plants under WW conditions, which contributed to sustained rhizome fresh weight even when exposed to WD conditions (p ≤ 0.05). There was an increase in free proline content in T. aff. macrosporus and Burk inoculated plants under WD conditions, which played a crucial role in controlling leaf osmotic potential, thereby stabilizing leaf greenness and maximum quantum yield of PSII. As indicators of drought stress, there were noticeable restrictions in stomatal gas exchange parameters, including net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate, accompanied by an increase in leaf temperature. These changes resulted in reduced total soluble sugar levels. Interestingly, total curcuminoids and curcuminoids yield in Burk inoculated plants under WD conditions were retained, especially in relation to rhizome biomass. Burk inoculation in turmeric plants is recommended as a promising technique as it alleviates water-deficit stress, sustains rhizome biomass, and stabilizes curcuminoids yield.

Abstract
Thiourea (TU) is considered an essential and emerging biostimulant against the negative impacts of severe environmental stresses, including drought stress in plants. However, the knowledge about the foliar application of TU to mitigate drought stress in Linum usitatissimum L., has yet to be discovered. The present study was designed to assess the impact of foliar application of TU for its effects against drought stress in two flax cultivars. The study comprised two irrigation regimes [60% field capacity (FC) and the control (100% FC)], along with TU (0, 500, 1000 mg L-1) application at the vegetative stage. The findings indicated that drought stress reduced the shoot fresh weight (44.2%), shoot dry weight (67.5%), shoot length (41.5%), total chlorophyll (51.6%), and carotenoids (58.8%). Drought stress increased both cultivars' hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Foliar application of TU (1000 mg L-1) enhanced the growth and chlorophyll contents with or without drought stress. Under drought stress (60% FC), TU decreased MDA and H2O2 contents up to twofold. Moreover, TU application increased catalase (40%), peroxidase (13%), superoxide dismutase (30%), and total soluble protein contents (32.4%) differentially in both cultivars. Nevertheless, TU increased calcium (Ca2+) (42.8%), potassium (K+) (33.4%), and phosphorus (P) (72%) in shoots and decreased the elevated sodium (Na+) (28.2%) ions under drought stress. It is suggested that TU application (1000 mg L-1) enhances the growth potential of flax by enhancing photosynthetic pigment, nutrient uptake, and antioxidant enzymes under drought stress. Research outcomes, therefore, recommend that TU application can ameliorate drought-induced negative effects in L. usitatissimum L. seedlings, resulting in improved plant growth and mineral composition, as depicted by balanced primary and secondary metabolite accumulation.

Whole-Transcriptome Sequencing Reveals the Global Molecular Responses and NAC Transcription Factors Involved in Drought Stress in Dendrobium catenatum. Antioxidants (Basel) 2024; 13:94.

Abstract
Dendrobium catenatum is a highly drought-tolerant herb, which usually grows on cliffs or in the branches of trees, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms for its tolerance remain poorly understood. We conducted a comprehensive study utilizing whole-transcriptome sequencing approaches to investigate the molecular response to extreme drought stress in D. catenatum. A large number of differentially expressed mRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs have been identified, and the NAC transcription factor family was highly enriched. Meanwhile, 46 genes were significantly up-regulated in the ABA-activated signaling pathway. In addition to the 89 NAC family members accurately identified in this study, 32 members were found to have different expressions between the CK and extreme drought treatment. They may regulate drought stress through both ABA-dependent and ABA-independent pathways. Moreover, the 32 analyzed differentially expressed DcNACs were found to be predominantly expressed in the floral organs and roots. The ceRNA regulatory network showed that DcNAC87 is at the core of the ceRNA network and is regulated by miR169, miR393, and four lncRNAs. These investigations provided valuable information on the role of NAC transcription factors in D. catenatum's response to drought stress.

Abstract
Introduction Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is among the world's most important staple food crops. In the current climate change scenario, a better understanding of wheat response mechanisms to water stress could help to enhance its productivity in arid ecosystems. Methods In this study, water relations, gas exchange, membrane integrity, agronomic traits and molecular analysis were evaluated in six wheat genotypes (D117, Syndiouk, Tunisian durum7 (Td7), Utique, Mahmoudi AG3 and BT) subjected to drought-stress. Results and discussion For all the studied genotypes, drought stress altered leaf area, chlorophyll content, stomatal density, photosynthetic rate and water-use efficiency, while the relative water content at turgor loss point (RWC0) remained stable. Changes in osmotic potential at turgor loss point (Ψπ0), bulk modulus of elasticity (Ɛmax) and stomatal regulation, differed greatly among the studied genotypes. For the drought-sensitive genotypes AG3 and BT, no significant changes were observed in Ψπ0, whereas the stomatal conductance (gs) and transpiration rate (E) decreased under stress conditions. These two varieties avoided turgor loss during drought treatment through an accurate stomatal control, resulting in a significant reduction in yield components. On the contrary, for Syndiouk, D117, Td7 and Utique genotypes, a solute accumulation and an increase in cell wall rigidity were the main mechanisms developed during drought stress. These mechanisms were efficient in enhancing soil water uptake, limiting leaf water loss and protecting cells membranes against leakage induced by oxidative damages. Furthermore, leaf soluble sugars accumulation was the major component of osmotic adjustment in drought-stressed wheat plants. The transcriptional analysis of genes involved in the final step of the ABA biosynthesis (AAO) and in the synthesis of an aquaporin (PIP2:1) revealed distinct responses to drought stress among the selected genotypes. In the resistant genotypes, PIP2:1 was significantly upregulated whereas in the sensitive ones, its expression showed only a slight induction. Conversely, the sensitive genotypes exhibited higher levels of AAO gene expression compared to the resistant genotypes. Our results suggest that drought tolerance in wheat is regulated by the interaction between the dynamics of leaf water status and stomatal behavior. Based on our findings, Syndiouk, D117, Utique and Td7, could be used in breeding programs for developing high-yielding and drought-tolerant wheat varieties.

Abstract
Numerous generations have been affected by hunger, which still affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The hunger crisis is worsening although many efforts have been made to minimize it. Besides that, food waste is one of the critical problems faced by most countries worldwide. It has disrupted the food chain system due to inefficient waste management, while negatively impacting the environment. The majority of the waste is from the food production process, resulting in a net zero production for food manufacturers while also harnessing its potential. Most food production wastes are high in nutritional and functional values, yet most of them end up as low-cost animal feed and plant fertilizers. This review identified key emerging wastes from the production line of mushroom, peanut, and soybean (MPS). These wastes (MPS) provide a new source for food conversion due to their high nutritional content, which contributes to a circular economy in the post-pandemic era and ensures food security. In order to achieve carbon neutrality and effective waste management for the production of alternative foods, biotechnological processes such as digestive, fermentative, and enzymatic conversions are essential. The article provides a narrative action on the critical potential application and challenges of MPS as future foods in the battle against hunger.

The possible phytotoxicity and mechanism of 50-200 mg/L hydroxyapatite NPs (nHA), iron oxide NPs (nFe2O3) or nano zero valent iron (nZVI) co-exposed with Cd (100 μM) in rice seedlings were investigated. Three types of nanoparticles significantly reduced the bioaccumulation of Cd in rice shoots by 16-63%, with nZVI showing the greatest effect, followed by nHA and nFe2O3. A decrease in Cd content in the roots was observed only in the nZVI treatment, with values ranging from 8 to 19%. Correspondingly, nZVI showed the best results in promoting plant growth, increasing rice plant height, shoot and root biomass by 13%, 29% and 42%. In vitro studies showed that nZVI reduced the content of Cd in the solution by 20-52% through adsorption, which might have contributed to the immobilization of Cd in root. Importantly, the nZVI treatment resulted in 267% more iron plaques on the root surface, which acted as a barrier to hinder the entry of Cd. Moreover, all three nanoparticles significantly reduced the oxidative stress induced by Cd by regulating phytohormones, phytochelatin, inorganic homeostasis and the expression of genes associated with Cd uptake and transport. Overall, this study elucidates for the first time the multiple complementing mechanisms for some nanoparticles to reduce Cd uptake and transport in rice and provides theoretical basis for applying nanoparticles for reducing Cd accumulation in edible plants.
